- Food tourism, an exploratory study in the portuguese contextPublication . Mendes, Teresa; Liberato, Pedro; Liberato, Dália; Barreira, HugoGastronomy and Wines has been a premium food tourism product of the national destination management organization (Tourism of Portugal) since its rst National Strategic Plan for Tourism approved by the Portuguese Government through the Resolution of the Council of Ministers no. 53/2007, of 4th of April, to the present one with growing visibility and food awards. However, international research points out the emergent need to have in-depth knowledge of this industry, namely on the numerous given denominations and its potential segmentations on the food tourist demand. The main objective of this study is to clarify the nomination for this tourism sector in Portugal and to identify potential food tourism demand segmentations, paired up with the restaurant industry. To this, and due to the present pandemics, an innovative exploratory methodology was created for a food expert focus group, adapted to an online format, using visual stimuli and a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. The ndings show that, although there was not a general agreeance in the renaming of the tourist food related activities, there was a consensus in the proposed four restaurant typologies and its hypothetical tourist demand segmentation, as presented on intermediate results section. Also, emerged the need for future research on the main food tourism demand markets in Portugal, thus being presented in the last section of this study a structured proposal for the coming research.
- Food tourism sustainability in Portugal: a systematic literature reviewPublication . Mendes, Teresa; Liberato, Pedro; Liberato, Dália; Dieguez, Teresa; Barreira, HugoFood is one of the main tourism motivations to visit a destination. Food-related activities and experiences, and food consumption places, have, therefore, been used as unique selling propositions by tourism management destinations employing multiple marketing strategies, which are nowadays strengthened by digital branding. On the other hand, global food supply, and its supply chains sustainability, also became one of the most urgent agendas for all nations, worldwide. Concurringly, United Nations launched in 2016 the Sustainable Development Goals program that the United Nations World Travel Organization officially adopted in 2017. Although international tourism demand has been consistently increasing toward Portugal throughout this decade, being the most searched for European country in 2022, one of the main conclusions of the present research is that both national and international academy has not yet produced significant studies on this country’s food sustainability, concerning the tourism market. This paper delivers a systematic literature review on food tourism sustainability concerning tourism destination Portugal, based on a specific articles’ selection protocol. The selected articles, analyzed through a visual bibliometric networks’ software, produced three main clusters, which presented a research trend, stressing critical aspects concerning the role of regional governance in food tourism, and the still scarce academic production to this matter.
